Who Are the Graveyard Guardians?
Our Mission
We pledge to care for the burial sites of our ancestors, to hire professionals to restore monuments, and to help educate the public on how to help keep our graveyards safe for generations to come.
We're fundraising for our 1st project...
Support the Swain's Islands Project!
About 25 headstones mark the burial sites of our ancestors with the surnames Bishop, Flip, Hill, Hounsell, Hoyles, Parsons, Sainsbury, and Winsor on Swain's Islands near Wesleyville.
To make this project happen, we're looking for ~$7,500 in donations by June 2024.
Can you help? Every little bit counts!
